Nokia Networks today announced its LTE network deal with MegaFon to launch its 4G services.
The seven-year LTE network deal covers 4G LTE radio access equipment. Mobile subscribers in Moscow, Central and Caucasus regions will be the first to enjoy LTE network services.
Nokia Networks did not reveal the size of the LTE deal.
Nokia Networks will upgrade MegaFon’s nationwide network in Russia. The Finnish telecom network vendor will build a 4G network based on the company’s Single RAN technology to benefit from better capacity, data rates and low latency.
Nokia Networks will provide its Single RAN Advanced platform, based on the Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station.
Evgueny Chermashentsev, director for Infrastructure at MegaFon, said: “Nokia NetAct network management system will be updated to ensure consolidated configuration, monitoring, management and optimization of the operator’s network.”
Nokia Networks said it supplies LTE to 9 of the 10 largest operators globally by LTE subscriptions.
